Aha~! Good on ya, mate! I knew one of ya might be able to point me someplace nice! Hell, might try it tonight then. I've got some free time, eh? Thanks for the word, Dewi.

Really now? Can't say I've ever had his cooking... Is there something wrong with it?

You're welcome, brawd.

I didn't... even think you could call it "cooking."

pride_of_kiwi October 16 2009, 02:39:26 UTC

So... because you come from the continent of Australia, the man assumes that you would enjoy Americanized Australian food...?

pride_of_kiwi October 16 2009, 17:11:45 UTC

Hahaha, New Zealand, mate! Land of the white clouds~

But yes! As it is, it seems she thought by m'accent that I'd enjoy some 'Aussie' cuisine....

das_vedanya October 16 2009, 17:15:09 UTC

pride_of_kiwi October 16 2009, 17:37:14 UTC
